Dennis Frazier for Westminster mayor campaign literature received April 8 2009
WHAT THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW
The week BEFORE the public hearing on water and sewer rate structures, a representative from Tylex Technologies in Seattle, Washington was flown into Westminster. He worked on the city computer software program and CHANGED the current water and sewer rate structure over to match the proposed rate increase.
The city followed procedure by having a public hearing, HOWEVER it was a SHAM, as the rates had already been changed by the representative at a cost of over $6,000 to the tax payers.
The city paid over $55,000 to a consultation company for the water rate study. However the city staff could have come up with the same numbers on their own. They had all the necessary information on hand.
The city’s software program itself, comes from a company in Washington State. If a problem arises, the city is billed $125 an hour for phone calls to the company. If someone has to come out to Westminster, the city has to pay ALL EXPENSES for the representative, air fare, hotel, rental car etc. PLUS THE HOURLY RATE!
There are companies within driving distance of Westminster that have similar software programs, making the cost of working on the system much less for the taxpayers. (The present system from Washington State HAS COST THE CITY OVER $300,000 SO FAR.)
In another Sham the city spent over $60,000 for consultants to look at the pay scale for city employees, although the same information could have been obtained with an online search and some phone calls to similar cities
The city spent over $7,000 to the Mercer Group to find a city manager while the city staff could have handled this task just as well and for a much cheaper cost to the taxpayer.
Time and time again the City Council, (WHICH INCLUDES SUSAN ALBERT & KEVIN UTZ) as well as, the current Mayor has RECKLESSLY SPENT YOUR TAXPAYER DOLLARS!!
THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN ON MY WATCH!!!
On MAY 11th Make Sure It Doesn’t
